Publisher's summary
Lawrence Block remembers:
"Well, in point of fact, I don't remember much. SINTIME was an Andrew Shaw title for Nightstand Books. The book opens at a resort in or around Vergennes VT, a setting that was certainly inspired by a visit my then-wife and I made to friends of ours who were summering in or around Vergennes. It was a pleasant few days, as I recall, and the friends we were visiting were Hal and Marcia Dresner. Hal was a writer, writing the same sort of books as I, and for the same publishers; he moved on sooner than I did, went out to Los Angeles, had a fine career as a screenwriter, retired and moved to Ashland OR, but by the time he did that he'd been divorced from Marcia, and another woman as well. Marcia has since died, and his second wife died not too long ago, and Hal himself died in early 2023. I miss him.
"But it would have been July or August of 1962 when we saw the Dresners in Vermont, and no more than a couple of months after that when I wrote SINTIME, because it was still 1962 when Nightstand published the book. I couldn't tell you what title I may have stuck on the book, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't SINTIME.
"When I decided to reissue all of the old Andrew Shaw titles, SINTIME was part of the package. My Production Person designed a cover and formatted the book for paperback and ebook. And then, somehow, it found a crack and fell through it. It was an inquiry from a fan, Craig C., that led me to discover the necessary files lurking in my Dropbox—but I was busy by then with other matters, and forgot about it all over again. Then another faithful reader, Cullen G., raised the subject—whereupon I finally Hopped To It.
"And that, alas, is about all Lawrence Block remembers. On this topic, anyway."
